As we all know, the precious Navaratna, or the nine Gems is a blending of nine precious Astrological Gemstones that possess healing powers. Certainly, the nine specific Birthstones are highly revered and valued in Vedic astrology and traditional Indian beliefs. Truly, each Birthstone corresponds to a particular celestial body or planet and wearing these gemstones together is believed to bring about a balance of energies and various astrological benefits.
To clarify, these birthstones are linked to different qualities and meanings and wearing them as jewelry or keeping them close is believed to bring specific benefits to those born in that month. Thus, anyone can wear these Birthstones based on the zodiac signs or horoscope.
However, each gemstone should be authentic and preferably natural and untreated, when worn. These should be worn as per the guidelines suggested by an astrologer to derive the maximum possible benefit.
On the other hand, Semi-Precious Gemstones are birthstones that are less rare and less expensive than precious stones. Nevertheless, they are still valued for its beauty and astrological benefits.
To illustrate, some of the semi-precious Gemstones are very powerful and spread positive vibes and they should not be considered as inferior to Navaratnas. In fact, some of the semi-precious stones work wonderfully in hardness, lustre, clarity and radiation.
Semi-Precious Birthstones include numerous colorful Gemstones such as Multi-color Tourmalines, Blue Topaz, Peridot, Citrine, Tanzanite, Tsavorites, Amethyst, Opal, Aquamarine, Moonstone, Turquoise and many more in the list.
Without a doubt, these semi-precious Gemstones can be used as effective substitutes for the nine precious Navaratnas.
